Thought I saw an ad for a Pakistan match on October 7. Must have been dreaming.

my preference has always been women and I have a huge interest in most women`s sport... I think it has to do with their smooth flowing techniques 

[Luke Landrunner]

So for the first time EVER the ODI today will not be shown on free to air......WTF !!!

Only government intervention will make ch7 show any of the ODI and 20/20 games this summer.

 

[Drop Bear]

Well it was a good start to Aust. Evening out now. 

[ellicat]

I can't believe the Aussie team left Lyon out on a wicket that's spinning like a top.

 

[Old Scaley]

And he could have opened instead of poor old Finch who just can’t buy an innings lately.

[Old Scaley]

And how crook is it that these ODIs aren’t being shown on free to air TV!  I’m sure there are lots of older people like my MIL who love cricket but can’t possibly afford Foxtel on a pension.

You could always give them one of your Foxtel Go sign-ins.

You can't blame Foxtel - Cricket Australia sold out and Channel 9 weren't interested enough.

I don’t blame Foxtel @ellicat. I love watching sport on Foxtel, especially the rugby league - no ads and no Gus!  But Cricket Australia should never have entered into a contract that stops people watching their product. I would give my mother-in-law a Go login but she is yet to progress from the abacus to a pocket calculator and thinks the World Wide Web is an evil plan by giant spiders to rule Earth. 

Back to the game now. They never should have given the Aussies the retro gear cos now they are getting retro scores as well. It will take a miracle to save us. If only Energex was running the power grid in Melbourne.

I have lost interest in the cricket this season as it is Unaustralian to not show the ODI series on free to air or the international T20 on Free to air. The other thing annoying me is that the Brisbane Heat barely have any games on free to air tv as well ( I know they aren't great but still). This is the first summer I can think that the cricket hasn't been on free to air............

Nathan Lyon should be bowling and not left out and our top order batsmen well... There is a problem with our team at present and I can't see it correcting itself until they start picking people on form not reputation.....

 

On a positive how bloody awesome is the womens T20 and ODI..... Healy's daughter is bloody amazing!

Hahaha you should do some stand up! 

I think Rugby made a rotten choice selling out to Foxtel. IMHO it has stuffed it for them and I worry that cricket will be the same.
